"Liaohua?" Wei Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm worried about the lack of good generals under my command, but I didn't expect that there would be a general right under my nose!" ”

There is a well-known saying in Huaxia: "There is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is a pioneer", which is a metaphor for the lack of good hands in handling affairs, and let people with average ability come out to be responsible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Actually, is that so?

Now there is no need to pile up historical materials to refute this issue, let's see Liao Hua first.

Wei Yan continued to leave Li Yan to build the city and defend the city, and together with Chen Zhi, Guan Hai, and Wen Yang, he led 8,000 men and horses to Pingchun County.

Along the way, Wei Yu kept receiving the latest information and reported it to Wei Yan: "This gang of bandits is the Yellow Turban Yu Party entrenched in Taoshan in Runan, the leader is named Zhang Chi, there are more than 5,000 people, and there are seven or eight thousand young people!" Previously, Zhang Chi raised horses for a living, and there was a horse farm in Taoshan, so he had more than 1,000 cavalry under his command. ”

"There are other small groups of Yellow Turban remnants in the mountains who ransack Pingchun County with him, adding up to nearly 20,000 thieves!"

"Zhang Chi coerced more than 30,000 villagers from Runan and Pingchun, deceived into an army of 100,000, and besieged Pingchun County!"

"Pingchun County Cheng Cai Ping ignored the dissuasion of the county lieutenant Deng Zhi and fled overnight, but was beheaded by Liao Hua, the second commander under Zhang Chi, and the Cai family was all killed!"

"Zhang Chi sent the thieves who mixed into Mintun to make trouble, and wanted to cooperate with the outside, but was discovered by Deng Zhi in time, killed the first few people, and appeased the remaining thieves, Zhang Chi had no internal response, so he had to attack, and he had been besieged for two days, Deng Zhi only had more than 1,000 people, and the county seat of Pingchun was a soil city, which was in disrepair and precarious!"

Wei Yan asked, "How far are we from Pingchun County now?" ”

Wei Yu replied: "There are still more than ten miles of land!" ”

"What's the terrain like here?"

"One horse and one river."

Wei Yan looked around: "The thief army is powerful, and it cannot be defeated, so it can only be outwitted." Sandwiched between two mountains and a ditch, it is a good place for ambushes. Ah Yang, with a thousand cavalry, lure the main force of the enemy army to come. Uncle Zhi, you and I divide the two wings, Yuan Fang (Guan Hai's character), you have another important task......"

Wen Yang led a thousand cavalry to lure Zhang Chi and Liao Hua's army.

When Zhang Chi heard that Wei Yan was leading a large group of men and horses, he hurriedly stopped attacking the city and turned to meet Wei Yan, but saw that the other party only came with a thousand men and horses, led by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little doll, and immediately laughed.

Even Liao Hua, who had always been calm, couldn't help but show contempt when he saw the thousand cavalry in front of him.

These cavalrymen were all riding short Hun horses, and each of them had no armor on their bodies, no leather armor, just ordinary military clothes, leather helmets on their heads, and three quivers on their backs.

However, what is surprising is that the military uniforms of these cavalry seem to be lined with silk, which makes people sigh at the luxury of their lord Wei Yan.

Of course, they did not know that there was a powerful nomadic cavalry in later generations, and before the battle began, they had to wear a silk robe, which was made of raw silk and woven very finely, and it was difficult for the enemy's arrows to penetrate this silk garment, and only the arrows and cloth were inserted into the wound, and the doctor only needed to pull out the silk to pull the arrow out of the wound, which could greatly reduce the damage of the enemy's feather arrows to his side, and was even safer than wearing heavy armor, but the cost was cheaper than heavy armor, and the burden on the war horse was greatly reduced.

In addition to this, Liao Hua also observed that although the phalanx of these cavalry was neat, it was very loose.

Liao Hua smiled at Zhang Chi and said: "Big leader, you see, the enemy army not only rides inferior horses, has no armor, and the phalanx is extremely loose, each cavalry is far away from each other, it is difficult to support each other, and there is no heavy cavalry protection, as long as we charge, we can rush into the enemy phalanx, completely disperse them, divide and surround them...... People say that Wei Yan is good at using soldiers, but now it seems that this is nothing more than that! ”

Zhang Chi nodded: "What Yuan Jian said is extremely true, I order you to lead 5,000 men and horses to go, and you must wipe out the enemy army!" ”

Liao Hua led 5,000 men and horses to meet the enemy.

Of the 5,000 men, there were only 1,000 cavalry, so they were placed in front of the formation, leaving 4,000 infantry behind the cavalry, and together with the cavalry, they formed a conical formation that was convenient for charging.

When Liaohua's 5,000 men and horses had just rushed to a distance of 100 steps from Wenyang's men and horses, they suddenly found that the cavalry in front of the other party was riding on horses, stretching their bows and arrows, and shooting at their side.

Liao Hua smiled secretly, at such a distance, the other party is shooting arrows on a horse, what power can it have?

He continued to lead the army forward.

A rain of arrows poured down, and hundreds of cavalry fell beside Liao Hua, and people turned on their backs.

Liao Hua was shocked at this time: "How can they have such a long range?" ”

When he looked closely, he saw that the arrows of the enemy army were all small and sharp, and other than that, the enemy's bows were not the same as usual.

At this time, the second wave of arrows of the enemy army poured down.

"Shoot the arrows! Fight back! Liao Hua hurriedly ordered to fight back, but these cavalry under his command could only hold on to the war horses, and only when the war horses stood firm did they dare to draw their bows and release arrows on the horses.

On the other hand, the enemy cavalry can still draw a bow and arrow when riding a horse.

Moreover, Liao Hua's cavalry could only shoot arrows to seventy or eighty paces before falling softly, and they were still twenty or thirty steps away from the enemy cavalry, so they could not pose any threat at all.

Liao Hua had no choice but to let his Yellow Turban soldiers rush forward, trying to close the distance with the opponent's cavalry.

At this time, the enemy army had already come with four waves of arrows.

When Liao Hua's cavalry was close to the other party, he was about to shoot an arrow with a bow, but found that the opponent's cavalry had already ridden away from his horse.

Liao Hua saw that the infantry could not catch up, and there were only more than 700 cavalry left, so he reined in his horse and turned around.

At this time, Wen Yang led a thousand cavalry to rush over, and there was another rain of arrows.

When Liao Hua chased after him and counterattacked, Wen Yang led his troops away.

Liao Hua couldn't catch up, so he had to go back again.

At this time, Wen Yang led the 1,000 cavalry over again, and the arrows rained down.

For Liao Hua, Wen Yang's 1,000 cavalry is like a bone appendage, and he can't get rid of it.

Liao Hua is still very young, less than twenty years old, and lacks experience in dealing with this situation.

In fact, not only him, but probably no one in the entire Han territory can deal with this kind of technique and tactics.

However, Liao Hua was very calm and knew that it would not please him if he continued like this, so he led his troops back to the camp.

Their commander, Zhang Chi, was furious: "My army is dozens of times larger than him, how can he be so arrogant!" Gather all the elites, chase them to the end, and be sure to wipe out all the men and horses of this group! ”

Liao Hua hurriedly persuaded: "Great Commander, these cavalry tactics are strange, don't underestimate them!" ”

Zhang Chi scolded angrily: "Incompetent, 5,000 people can't even take the other party's 1,000 people, get out!" ”

Zhang Chi gathered the cavalry from various hills, gathered 3,000 cavalry, and pursued Wenyang's 1,000 cavalry.

Liao Hua was afraid that Zhang Chi would lose, so he hurriedly led 5,000 infantry to follow.

At this time, Wen Yuan's thousand cavalry relied on the advantages of Takahashi's saddle and bilateral stirrups, and seemed to be riding horses to escape, but in fact, they kept turning back and firing arrows.
